“If they knew, why are they coming out to meet their deaths?” A martial artist was curious.

“That’s right. They know that they are going to die, but they still keep sending more out. Are the leaders of the barbarian tribes crazy?”

“Could it be that there are too many of them and they can’t feed them anymore? So they drive out a batch for us to kill, so as to save on food?”

“Tch, you’re thinking too much. The Boundless Mountain Range is huge, there must be plenty of resources. How could there be a lack of food?”

“Why did those barbarians suddenly rush out? Wave after wave of them have died.”

“Who knows? They’re probably bored out of his mind and tired of living.”

“…”

The group of martial artists in the top ranks who were assisting in the battle started discussing among themselves.

Now that the barbarians had died under the shells, there was no need for them to take action.

However, as the temporary commander, the Great General of the Luori Prefecture Army, Liu Renxi, realized that things were not that simple.

His gaze fell on the surveillance footage, and the expression on his face became increasingly solemn.

“Old Liu, what are you thinking about?” A burly man asked in a low voice.

“That’s right, Old Liu. Tell us what you’ve discovered and we’ll give you some advice,” echoed a muscular middle-aged woman.

“No discoveries.” Liu Renxi shook his head and said in a low voice, “That’s the problem. The barbarians’ invasion this time came without any warning. I think there must be a conspiracy behind this.”

“There’s definitely a conspiracy, but aren’t we already investigating? I believe we’ll have an outcome soon,” said the muscular woman, Fu Sainan.

“The cabinet might know the reason,” said the burly man, Fan Butong. “The Marshal called last night and asked us to pay attention to the Boundless Mountain Range. Clearly, they know something.”

Like Liu Renxi, Fan Butong and Fu Sainan were also Great Generals of the Prefecture Armies, the Commanders of the other two prefectures in the southwest.

At this moment, they had gathered at Sunset Cliff because they had received a transfer order and Liu Renxi will temporarily take the spot of supreme commander.

“I picked up Marshal Xiao’s call too. I asked him, but he doesn’t know the reason for the barbarian invasion either. He only asked me to pay attention to the mountain range.” Liu Renxi shook his head and said in a low voice.

“It’s fine,” said Fan Butong in a low voice. “As long as barbarians in the Transcendent-grade do not appear, no matter how many other barbarians come, they will die.”

“I’m just afraid…”

Boom!

A loud bang suddenly came from the right and resounded through the sky.

Liu Renxi, Fan Butong, and Fu Sainan looked at one another. In the next moment, their figures flashed and they rushed out of the command center.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The other martial artists in the top ranks also flew into the sky and looked in the direction of the explosion.

In their vision, they saw a burly barbarian more than four meters tall stepping in the air and blowing up two planes and a cannon platform with a single punch.

Boom!

Another explosion sounded. The burly barbarian continued to punch. A translucent blood energy fist imprint blasted an observation point on Sunset Cliff, destroying the pillbox as well.

“Stop it!”

In the distance, martial artists in the top ranks soared into the sky.

Saber energy, sword energy, spear shadows, giant axes and all kinds of Martial Art True Intent released their might and attacked the burly barbarian.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Cannonballs also poured out crazily towards the other party.

However…

Boom boom boom!

This burly barbarian stepped around in the air and punched out again and again, shattering all the attacks. Even the martial artists in the top ranks in the air could not withstand the shockwave. They either exploded on the spot or fell to the ground with severe injuries.

As for the shells that flew over, they exploded in the air one by one before they got close and turned into nothingness.

“Hmph!”

With a low yell, the burly barbarian’s flaming eyes swept across all the observation points and shells at the top of Sunset Cliff. Killing intent condensed on its body as it released its blood energy fist imprint again.

Boom!

A terrifying force tore through the air, stirring up ripples in the air and creating a clear passageway.

“Everyone, retreat!”

Liu Renxi’s pupils constricted as he roared loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he mobilized all the strength in his body and released a punch to meet the attack.

Fu Sainan and Fan Butong did the same. They mobilized all their strength and gathered with Liu Renxi, preparing to resist the blood energy fist imprint head-on.

Transcendent-grade!

The burly barbarian was in the Transcendent-grade.

They never expected Fan Butong’s casual remark to come true so quickly.

The barbarians had actually dispatched a Transcendent-grade expert to attack Sunset Cliff!

Could a peak first-grade martial artist withstand a punch from a Transcendent-grade barbarian?

No idea.

Liu Renxi, Fu Sainan, and Fan Butong were all unaware.

They only knew that if they did not take the blow head-on, everyone else would die when the punch landed on the temporary command center.

Few of the commanders and martial artists in the top ranks assisting in this battle could escape.

If these people died, how could they command the subsequent battles?

With the invasion of the Transcendent-grade barbarians, even if they died, they had to spread the news to the backlines.

Hu! Hu!

Strong winds howled and swept through the sky.

Liu Renxi, Fu Sainan, and Fan Butong could not hear anything else.

In their vision, there was only the constantly enlarging blood energy fist imprint.

Boom!

A loud bang reverberated through the air. The shockwave swept through the mountains of Sunset Cliff, sending debris flying.

Liu Renxi, Fu Sainan, and Fan Butong were also sent flying backward by the impact.

Not… dead?

Not dead?!

Liu Renxi, who was flying backward, suddenly came to his senses. He stared at his shrunken vision with wide eyes.

The same went for Fu Sai Nan and Fan Butong . They had thought that they were doomed to die from this strike.

Unexpectedly, someone had blocked the blood energy fist imprint of a Transcendent-grade barbarian for them.

As they were sent flying, the three of them saw a figure who was also not short. His entire body was emitting white light and he had a pair of wings on his back. He charged towards the Transcendent-grade barbarian and became engaged in a fight with it.

In their vision, the two figures exchanged blows. Their moves were savage and contained terrifying power.

From the very beginning, they were in a heated battle.

Among them, the winged figure that took the attack for them was extremely fast. The wings…

“Wait, wings? He… he’s not human?”

Liu Renxi, who had stopped moving, widened his eyes in shock.

“…I’m afraid he’s really not human.” Fu Sainan was equally shocked and filled with disbelief. “A person with wings. He… he’s part of the legendary Winged Ones?”

“The legendary Winged Ones?” Fan Butong took a deep breath and said in shock, “This race really exists? Moreover, he seems to be helping us?”

“Not ‘seems’, he is already helping us.” Liu Renxi took a deep breath to calm himself down and said in a low voice, “No matter what’s going on with this Transcendent-grade Winged One, it’s a fact that he saved us.

“A Transcendent-grade barbarian has taken action. We have to send this information to the backlines and get the cabinet to get the Martial Sage here.”

“Yes, yes. The Transcendent-grade is something that only the Transcendent-grade can deal with!” Fan Butong nodded hurriedly. “I’ll send the news now.”

“Wait.” Liu Renxi suddenly thought of something and said, “Not only must we invite our own Martial Sage, but also the Martial Sages of the Guang Nation and the Jing Nation. A barbarian invasion is the common enemy of all human dynasties!”

“Of course.” Fan Butong nodded.

Just as he was about to fly out——

Boom!

A shocking bang broke through space, and cracks appeared. Although they quickly recovered, the Transcendent-grade barbarian and Winged One who were fighting were both struck by each other’s attacks and quickly retreated.

Then, as he retreated, the Transcendent-grade Winged One suddenly released a ray of light that tore through space and struck the Transcendent-grade barbarian who could not dodge in time.

Under the gaze of Fan Butong, Liu Renxi, Fu Sai Nan, and the other martial artists in the top ranks, the latter’s huge body immediately melted like snow under the hot sun. It died extremely quickly, fiercely, and strangely.

In a few breaths, it disappeared from the world.

Liu Renxi, Fu Sainan, Fan Butong, and the others were dumbfounded.

Is the Transcendent-grade Winged One actually that powerful?

Killing a Transcendent-grade barbarian with one ultimate move?

How many times can such an ultimate move be released?

If…

Plkch!

In the air above the wilderness, a strange sound suddenly attracted everyone’s attention.

A crack appeared in the air and a terrifying barbarian who was ten meters tall walked out.

As soon as the other party appeared, its bell-like eyes swept across the Winged One. Its unnatural human language resounded through the sky and ground, echoing in everyone’s ears.

“Since when did the King of the Winged Ones become a thug for the human race?”
